Share.

The first story was just a teaser to lead us into this story, which will tell you exactly when you can expect to be playing.

Thanks to courteous Aspyr representatives, we were told yesterday that the always wanted and never seen Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 4 for the PC and Macintosh would indeed be released. Other than that, we knew very, very little. As promised yesterday, Aspyr is back with a true, official press release that sheds light on all of the details that need to be lit.

First and foremost, Pro Skater 4 will be out this May. No fall nonsense here. May, we say! That's real soon. Fear not, porting duties are being handled by Beenox, and the game should remain 100% intact and perhaps even offer us a little more skateboarding goodness.

Dave Anderson, director, Activision Business Development and Licensing:

"Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 4 marks a revolutionary step forward for the franchise with its free-roaming career mode and progressively harder goal system. These features add a whole new dimension to the gameplay and provide a compelling new challenge for both novice players and ardent fans alike."

Michael Rogers, President of Aspyr:

"The Pro Skater series is legendary. Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 4 takes the game to the next level with huge advancements in graphics and gameplay. This is the closest you can get to skating without scraping a knee."

Specific details on the possibility of a multiplayer component as well as whether or not support for the still preliminary standardized PC gamepad will be included should be forthcoming. Look for the game in May for around $40. Our full review will just cost you a click.

Drop into the ultimate skating challenge with TONY HAWK'S PRO SKATER 4. Players take on the role of legendary skateboarder Tony Hawk and 13 other athletes as they skate through enormous free roaming levels, choose from 190 progressively harder goals and build their skills to perform 14 of the greatest skateboarding stunts of all time.
